TRANSMISSION FLUID SERVICE

Transmission Repair Services Provided by
Jim Whaley Tires

Whether you're hearing a strange noise, seeing a warning light, or just due for routine maintenance, our certified technicians have you covered — from simple fluid changes to full transmission repairs.

Battery Testing & Replacement

Transmission Repair

Over time, transmission fluid breaks down and collects debris that can affect performance. Fresh fluid helps keep the system cool, reduce wear, and maintain smooth shifting.

Alternator Testing & Repair

Transmission Flush

A transmission flush removes old fluid and built-up contaminants, then replaces it with clean, manufacturer-recommended fluid to help restore performance, improve shifting, and reduce future wear.

Starter Motor Diagnostics

Clutch Service & Repair

If your clutch is slipping, sticking, or hard to shift, we’ll inspect key parts like the clutch plate, pressure plate, and release bearing to identify wear and recommend the repairs you need.

Charging System Inspection

Automatic & Manual Systems

We service automatic, manual, CVT, and dual-clutch transmissions for domestic, import, and light-duty trucks. If you notice slipping, delayed shifting, or grinding, we can inspect it.

Warning Lights Diagnosis

Filter Replacement

Transmission filters trap debris that can damage internal parts. A clogged filter can restrict flow and increase wear. Replacing it helps protect performance and transmission life.

DON’T IGNORE THE WARNING SIGNS

Signs Your Transmission Needs Attention

Early diagnosis prevents minor issues from becoming expensive failures. If you notice any of the following, bring your vehicle in right away.

Slipping Gears

Your car unexpectedly changes gears or feels like it's "slipping out" of gear while driving. This is a critical safety issue.

Delayed or Rough Shifting

Hesitation between gear changes, hard thuds when shifting, or RPMs revving before engaging — all signs of transmission stress.

Grinding or Shaking

Grinding during gear changes on a manual, or shuddering/shaking during acceleration on an automatic, often indicates internal wear.

Leaking Transmission Fluid

Transmission fluid is red or dark red. A puddle under your car should never be ignored — low fluid causes rapid damage.

Burning Smell

Overheated or degraded transmission fluid often produces a burning smell. Left unaddressed, it causes irreversible internal damage.

No Response in Drive or Reverse

If your vehicle hesitates or doesn't move when shifted into gear, something is seriously wrong. Get it checked immediately.
